Double-Unit Superomedio-Central (DUS) Pedicle Inverted-T Reduction Mammaplasty in Gigantomastia: A 7-year Single-Center Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Reduction mammaplasty in patients with gigantomastia is challenging. The Double-Unit technique with a Superomedio-Central pedicle and inverted-T incision is the standard technique for reduction mammaplasty in our clinic.

Patients and methods

From 01/2011 to 12/2017, we performed 831 reduction mammaplasties in 630 patients. The Double-Unit  Superomedio-Central  (DUS) pedicle and inverted-T incision was implemented as a standard procedure for gigantomastia. Patient demographics and the outcome parameters complication rate, patient satisfaction with the aesthetic result, nipple sensibility, and surgical revision rate were obtained and retrospectiv
